He was struggling with the Spanish aural exams and the tips the teachers gave him were invaluable and he was able to apply the same tips for the Irish listening exam also.

Catriona is also brilliant and takes a personal interest in the students. Excellent service for an affordable price. Well done and thanks to Catriona and all the team.

We have used Solomon for over 7 year's and have found the staff to be excellent across a range of subjects.

School grades definitely improved when attending Solomon and the pay as you go system was also a winner in the current economic climate.

The experience that my son had with Caitríona and Solomon Grinds changed his entire perspective about the upcoming Leaving Cert exam and Maths in general.

Excellent teachers. Teachers always present and on time. I would highly recommend Solomon Grinds to any student struggling with a subject or just revision. 10/10

Extremely helpful, gave me confidence for my exams and got great results in the end. Couldn't recommend more.

The teachers are amazing! They helped me with both JC and LC topics. The maths teachers are very patient, and they break down the complicated maths topics into simple explanations... read more that helped me tremendously in my state exams and mocks. The language teachers (French, Romanian Irish and English) are amazing at helping students understand what exactly the examiners are looking for in their answers, all while showing them how to write an answer that is unique from the other answers that the examiners will correct.The business teacher gives great notes, as well as contemporary case studies and examples that students can use in their answers to get more marks.

My 2 teenagers attended Solomon Grinds in Lucan for both JC and LC. I found Caitriona to be extremely professional, patient and caring at all times. Communication was excellent.... read more I found all tutors exceptionally thorough, and really interested in their students. Caitriona was extremely kind and understanding to one of my teenagers, who has additonal needs. She went above and beyond at all times to help him, and offered extra assistence when he encountered any difficulties with a subject. I think you would be very hard pressed to find a grind school that looks after both teenagers wellbeing, and their academics as well as Solomon Grinds. I also found Solomon Grinds to be very fairly priced especially when compared to similar Grinds on offer. I would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Caitriona and Solomon Grinds.
